For me, I want my projects to be as perfect as possible (Are there levels of perfection? – you know what I mean). If you don't create a standard that is acceptable to you, you'll likely never finish a project measuring yourself by someone else's standard. I use overall appearance and consistency as my basic standard. My eye is naturally more critical of my work, so if it doesn't look nice to me then I'm going to make corrections to fix it. One method I use is consistency. If you can't measure each piece to the exact size use guides and jigs to make them all the same. Then if one is off by a 64th or even a 16th (I know!) then they are all off equally and the project will appear perfect.
